ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
This occurs with Windows 10 and Linux, running Java 8 b192 or Java 11 EA + JavaFX 11 EA.
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
This report concerns the issues and enhancements related to HTMLEditor editing capabilities.
Presently, the patch for JDK-8147476 solves MathML display issues in WebView. Consequently, it solves MathML display in HTMLEditor too. The MathML rendering is pretty good and equivalent to MathML Rendering with Safari.
I think that JDK-8089878, which describes only rendering issues, is also solved.
Set HTMLEditor content with the following code displays the quadratic formula as expected in JDK-8089878.
<math display="block">
<mrow>
<mi>x</mi>
<mo>=</mo>
<mfrac>
<mrow>
<mo>âÂÂ</mo>
<mi>b </mi>
<mo>ñ</mo>
<msqrt>
<mrow>
<msup>
<mi>b</mi>
<mn>2</mn>
</msup>
<mo>âÂÂ</mo>
<mn>4</mn>
<mi>a</mi>
<mi>c</mi>
</mrow>
</msqrt>
</mrow>
<mrow>
<mn>2</mn>
<mi>a</mi>
</mrow>
</mfrac>
</mrow>
</math>
Bugs :
-Trying to modify a formula will occurate some trouble in your document. For example, try to modifiy the previous formula, by removing 2a from the fraction, this will break your formula.
- MathML content is not updated after an insertion. This only occurs when MathML Token are in a table like in the Mozilla MathML Torture Test.
- Cursor disappears in <mi> token when the identifier name has only one character. If the name of the identifier is longer than 1 character, the cursor appears normaly. This not occurs in <mn> and <mo>.
- In <mo>, cursor disappears too.
- Bad selection logic. Some parts of the formula disappear and selection should be only one rectangle not many rectangles.
Enhancements : A common user can not easily and directly use MathML to insert a mathematic formula in HTMLEditor.
- MathML language is too verbose, an interface like AsciiMath for editing would be appreciate.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Each test could be made with the previous MathML code.
